Review:

Pixileanin says:I really like your characterization of Susan here. I didn't know what to expect from her, since I remember next to nothing about her from the books. But even with that said, I think you captured that kind of feeling about her: that she was somewhat unremarkable in a lot of ways. Everything points to that, like the professor getting her name wrong, which I thought was sad and funny at the same time. It reminds me of your Josephine character a bit.

I like the setup of your story for including the prompts. I think this was the first Magical Creatures setting for this challenge that I read. I like the theme of protecting the creatures, which implies that it wasnít supposed to be a class on combat. That alone, made this a fresh plot.

"Although in war she proved potential, they saw her as inconsequential."

I loved this line, and I also loved that you were able to make things rhyme in here. It was almost like you weren't even trying for it, which was really cool! I loved that you were also able to incorporated the theme of Hufflepuff discrimination and the need to prove yourself in this so seamlessly.

I really enjoyed your one-shot!

Author's Response: Pix! The day has finally come for me to be a good person and respond to this incredible review! I'm only a year and a few months late - that's acceptable, right? :-/ (I'm sorry for my tardiness! Eep!)

Woot, it's great to hear that you liked Susan's characterization, because to be perfectly honest, I didn't know what to expect of her when I started writing this either! haha There's very little to go on from the books, so I tried to look at her as an OC and give her a sort of something-to-prove vibe. Unremarkable is really a perfect word for her here, which is a bit sad, but I think a lot of people look at Hufflepuff with that sort of label, so it was fun to place her there only to have her prove herself later!

Yay! I'm glad I came up with an original plot! To be honest, I was very tempted to do the dragon keeper thing that most other people did, but I was very lucky when this idea popped up as an alternative! I'm so happy it worked out! Thank you! :-D

I have to admit that's one of my favorite lines as well! I think that was one of the first handful of one-liners I wrote out and tried to write around, so I'm glad it stuck out! And phew! The rhyming thing had me terrified to post! It's such a relief that everyone seems to have enjoyed it and not felt a loss of plot due to said rhyme-scheme either!

This is just such a lovely review. I'm sorry for how long it's taken me to respond to it, but please know that that in no way lessens how much I appreciate it! You're the best, Pix! Thank you!!! ^.^
